Egypt?s mobile operator Mobinil has partnered with Ericsson to provide enhanced data services in the country

According to the agreement, Ericsson would aid Mobinil with provision of Packet Core Technology, data migration services, design and integrate various nodes, and improve the speed of the data network across Egypt.
